You should always multiply before diving with ints.
Still won't give you the accuracy of floating point, but if you plan on rounding later anyway then it's just as good.int a = 3;
int b = 4;
int res;
res = (a / b) * 100; /* If a < b, (a / b) will always evaluate to 0 */
res = (a * 100) / b; /* Evaluates to 75 */
This method is used in old real-time embedded systems that lack hardware floating point support, because software fp is fucking slow as shit.

WITNESSED!
Can anyone recommend how I would read text from a running program into a script? For example if I type in notepad, the text will be picked up by my application.
I am not aware of any way to do this without first saving the data to a file. I mostly like to use c#/java in windows but i'm more interested in how the process itself is possible.
>>52577854
Why?
>>52577888
what you are looking for is called a keylogger.
>>52577888
You would need to modify the program to output the data somewhere as it's being typed.
That or like >>52577898 says, basically just read directly from the keyboard. That won't be specific to just one program though.
>>52577898
sounds more like reading out textfield widgets from a running application
SysExporter does that but unfortunately it's closed source
>>52577936
Either a keylogger straight up or a formgrabber, either way it's exploitative so not much POC is out there for the latter, you should be able to find shit keylogger sources pretty much everywhere online though.
>>52577898
I don't want to record keystrokes or anything, I mean to pick up the text periodically, like a backup kind of thing. If I open a text file i'd like my program to pick up all the text within the instance of notepad. Copy and paste it as a string pretty much.
Is this still considered keylogging?
>>52577965
Well, yes, if it is being done without notepad doing it. If that is the case, it's no different from a keylogger/malware.
>>52577965
if you have no target app it's pretty much keylogging, even though what you describe is much closer to form grabbing (input form grabbing to be precise) it's mostly use to steal info so as I said not much code to do this out there, unless you are targeting a specific application, in that case you can just read it's memory and hardcode the offsets to rad from and go from there.
>>52577965
that's very easy to do with pywinauto

In actuality, it's in C that you can't understand what the fuck is going on. Almost every non-trivial piece of C code is riddled with complex macros that use obtuse pointer tricks that rely heavily on packing rules and the like. I mean, just look at the list implementation in the linux kernel. Meanwhile in C++ everything is clear at first sight in all but the most obfuscated-on-purpose pieces of code.

Here's a question: what happens when the people who want to do everything in C++ always write obfuscated-on-purpose code?
You get people writing the fastest, most efficient bare metal shit in the world except it didn't really need to be like that, and now nobody else can maintain it.
I also mentioned two other languages that you ignored. If C triggers you that badly, you need to warn people in advance

It's not like somebody is going to read your code you fucking retard.
So, /dpt/, tell me about your obsession of reinventing the wheel
A bunch of threads ago, some retard even asked why asserts were shipped together with a language
What is it with this autistic "gotta do everything muhself!!!" attitude that most hobbyist coders seem to love so much?
>>52579098
I'm refering to shit like#define container_of(ptr, type, member) ({ \
const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr); \
(type *)( (char *)__mptr - offsetof(type,member) );})#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)
Then you of course have a billion levels of indirection and since it's all macros you'll never be able to debug any error. For instance:#define list_entry(ptr, type, member) \
container_of(ptr, type, member)
Literally just a synonym.
Now of course, you can sit down and work out what the defines do (provided you have a lot of C experience). But when dogshit like this litters the entire codebase, you simply can't claim that things are easier to understand in C than C++.
>>52579215
didn't get involved in this asserts argument, but there's nothing wrong with programming of any sort in a daily programming thread
>>52579223

>>52579146
By definition, nobody writes obfuscated-on-purpose code if it's not to submit shit to a code obfuscation competition. Fuck off with your what-ifs. What if C was readable in practice? Well it fucking isn't.

Also I have seen plenty of obfuscated source. See the linux kernel for instance.
Most real obfuscated source is produced by a tool after writing legible code during development.
>>52579215
Because of people pulling shit like this: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12518
You either use an existing library, but never update it so things don't break later down the line, and live with whatever bugs it has forever.
Or you make your own fork of the library.
Once you've made that jump, may as well just make the whole thing yourself.

>dependence on ""undefined"" behavior
Oh man, I chuckled sensibly. What a classic C technique.
>>52579247
So is your point that a language shouldn't allow it's users to do things in bizarre ways?
Because you can still do all of that, and more in C++.
That's kind of the point. The absolute worst C is never going to be as bad as the absolute worst C++ because of the extra dozen ways you can do everything.
We're not talking about existing code examples here, yes people have done terrible things with C. People have done terrible things with C++ too.
The point is, how much damage are you going to make it possible to make?

Instead you have a vast number of tools you misuse because they all suit different paradigms and workflows. Both languages compile to the same bytecode, C at least has more freedom and clear structure so you can make the macros that count, even if others abuse it to hell and back
>>52579370
>you have a shitload of tools at your disposal to achieve a goal without resorting to such hacks.
Unless everyone is well versed in the particular tools you decide to use, what makes you think that's any better?
If something is hard to understand, but at least consistent across the board then the people who know what they are doing can work it out at least.
If something is easy to understand, assuming you already know the entire language (one as large as C++) inside out, its not actually easy to understand.
>>52579375
My point is that a language should be powerful enough that the user doesn't need to use contrived hacks to circumvent its limitations. That's why I put a lot of weight on whether or not a language has a solid macro system (scheme, or common lisp in a pickle - NOT C), module system, generic programming facilities, static typing (inference, refinement, linearity, composability) when I consider using a language.
The least powerful a language is, the more hacks are needed to do basic constructs. The more powerful a language is, no matter how much you allow hacks, the less they'll appear.

>This is actually quite sane.
I was about to say that. It's long, but all the function names seem appropriate and descriptive, as are the variable names. It's not fantastic, but it's also not IOCCC-tier.
>>52579441
Not in the linux kernel :^)
>>52579411
Just because you've found a way to do something without abusing language semantics, doesn't mean anyone else would do it the same or be able to follow it as easily as you do.
Hacks are difficult for everyone to work through, including the author, but they'll tend to be quite similar.
Obscure language methods are difficult for everyone to understand, except the author, but they'll tend to be inconsistent with what most people associate to that language.
>>52579456

Okay, so I have to compile it myself. Got it, going to give it a try some day.
>>52579920
Just call it dotPos.
It's of type std::string::iterator. Putting full type names in identifiers is pants on head retarded.
Would you use "int forLoopIntCounter" too?
>>52579971
fuck off, it's a sound suggestion
>>52579907
Sure, why not use DecPosIt and DecPosInt? I don't see any readability issues here.
What stops one from writing a program to connect to many different proxies at the same time, and making them send a shit ton of HTTP requests to the target to open the connection, while not allowing the open connection to send any data back to you?
In other words, why can't a proxy list be turned into a botnet?
>>52579977
You can, but "emacs -nw" should work. It doesn't work?
>>52579986
hnng so cute
>>52579996
Why would you put "Int" in an identifier in the first place?
dotPos and dotPosIter are perfect.
>>52580043
Someone has good taste
>>52580007
>while not allowing the open connection to send any data back to you?
That's not up to you. If someone wants to send you packets, they are going to send you packets.
If you firewall off the proxies incoming connection you won't get any ACKs so good lucking forwarding more than a few bytes from any of them.
The short scale system is retarded.
Why did it catch on, /dpt/?

i'm a swede and i still think the short scale system makes sense
>>52580133
>people still using the long scale system
Say it ain't so
>>52580133
Short and long scare are both retarded.
Long scale:
10^6 is million, and 10^9 is a milliard
10^12 is billion, and 10^15 is a billiard
10^18 is trillion, and 10^21 is a trilliard
So why the fuck is a milliard squared a trillion (10^18) and not a billiard?
Neither the short or long scale makes any fucking sense when they both skip other 10^3 like it doesn't exist.
>>52578562
Open a .cl file:
>I've never seen this syntax and code structure before... wait what the fuck is that thing?
>>52580230
There's no such thing as a billard (kek) or a billion in long scale.
>>52580230
>So why the fuck is a milliard squared a trillion
because 1.5 x 2 = 3 not 2
>>52580230
retiard
this is the problem
1000^
1 -> thousand
2 -> million
3 -> billion (bi -> 2)
4 -> trillion (tri -> 3)
>>52580186
Long system:
million = 1,000,000 ^ 1
billion = 1,000,000 ^ 2
trillion = 1,000,000 ^ 3
Short system:
million = 1,000 ^ 2
billion = 1,000 ^ 3
trillion = 1,000 ^ 4
The short system is retard, makes no sense at all.

It's the French system and French are always rights when it's about units.
>>52580283
Thanks for proving me right.
>>52580292
Billion and milliard are synonymous (milliard is the french word for billion). They don't exist at the same time.
can we go back to talking about programming?
Here is my new recommendation
million = thousand thousand
billion = million million
trillion = billion billion
quadrillion = trillion trillion
>>52580325
what nail polish maximises programming productivity?
Think how cool it would be if we called one hundred a biten, a thousand a triten, ten thousand a quadten, etc.
I wish we did that, that really pleases my autism.
>>52580316
>Billion and milliard are synonymous
Not in the French system, which will be the norm, because French always impose their system to the world.
nobody even uses the terms for numbers after a trillion anyway, they use 10^x, so who cares?
>>52580351
Yes it is. Inform yourself. The value of a billion changes based on scale but the fact remains that milliard and billion are the translation of one another.
>>52580270
It's not my fault you can't read.
Yes, the problem is that the milli- prefix starts at 10^6 and not 10^3.

how the hell do i make this work

>>52580373
Not in French system. Please I know my country. In English they're the same, yes, but not if we speak French.
So in future you'll do like us because we decide of the units used by the whole planet.
>>52580374
By this logic, old English is still valid modern English.

So you think "thousand million" is an acceptable prefix?

Rather than
>Sixteen billion, two hundred and thirty-eight million, three hundred and fifty-two thousand, nine hundred and twelve
>>52580404
Writing a program to solve a problem you cant solve yourself is very hard.
A few friends and I wrote a program that turned your music into a death-metal Meshuggah mix. It worked by splitting the given song into 3 second increments, finding the most similar 3 second Meshuggah clip and laying it over. The results, while hilarious, were worse than having a human do the same.
>>52580316
What are you talking about?
Milliard is French for thousand million (10^9)
And billion is French for million^2 (10^12)

Superior system:one = 10 ^ 0
ten = 10 ^ 1
biten (hundred) = 10 ^ 2
triten (thousand) = 10 ^ 3
quadten (ten thousand) = 10 ^ 4
pentaten (hundred thousand) = 10 ^ 5
quinten (million) = 10 ^ 6
septen = 10 ^ 7
the short scale is easier to reason with. nitpicking about the names is what a sperg would do. the names still make sense if you start with a thousand and then add n*3 zeros after thousand
what comes after million? billion. what comes after billion? trillion. what comes after trillion? quadrillion. etc.

It's quicker and easier to say it without the ands, but it's not correct.
It's much quicker to just talk in slang too, good luck passing a job interview starting off with "yo dawg".
